Default Window leaking air?

The other day I had the chance to run it up a little and my drivers window started leaking air in at above 150. The car is an 02 Z06. Is this normal? Or do I need to adjust the window?

Should I take it to the dealer?

that's kinda normal at that speed. I tried adjusting the window, didn't seem to help much.

It seems to depend on the wind, a strong crosswind at that speed seems to make it worse, I know my hood really shakes when i go that fast in a strong crosswind.

I had my car up to 130 this morning, no hood shake, no window leakage.

you could also check the window stops around the a-piller, might be little out of adjustment.

best of luck, rob

You should have the windows down on the race track, and I am sure you are not driving 150 MPH on the street...

In cold weather climates the air is thinner....so you"ll hear more leakage in the winter...not sure whay your climate is though.
